Carjacking suspect caught

Vancouver Police have arrested a 22-year-old man after a strange carjacking Sunday night in the area of Alma Street and West 4th Avenue around 8:30 p.m.

VPD officers were called after the suspect allegedly forced the lone occupant, a pregnant woman, from the car, then drove away.

The suspect got into a Honda Pilot that was parked and idling and allegedly forced a pregnant woman from her car and then caused a multi-vehicle collision after fleeing in the stolen vehicle.

Just 45 minutes later, police tracked the vehicle to a collision near Granville Street and West 70th Avenue, after the same Honda Pilot crashed into three vehicles. The driver fled before police arrived, but officers located the suspect a short distance away and arrested him.

The suspect is now facing charges in the carjacking collision. Fortunately, no significant injuries were reported.
